Why Something Rather Than Nothing?

[Chas]

If there is infinite space and infinite time why not infinite matter?

Why not an infinite number of universes?

I find this unintelligible.

In his book Reasonable Faith, William Lane Craig marshals many arguments in favor of the kalam argument for the existence of God.

Kalam depends on the assertion that time cannot go back in the past to infinity.

I do not like kalam and think that Craig is wrong to think that the past cannot be inifnite.

But his arguments in this book are quite alright when used to show that the infinite number of real objects (as opposed to moments in time) cannot exist.

That's not at all surprising.
